Students Lacking
Savoir Faire?
The University was honored Thursday by the visit of 1
the highest ranking French consulate member in the 1
United States. I
Claude Batault, the soft-spoken hero (Legion of Honor,
Croix de Guerre) attempted to explain the complicated
Algerian question.
After giving a brief run down of the current situation, I
Batault turned to the floor to answer questions. It was
then that the University was shamed by a discourteous
audience. " ' I
To walk out on a speaker in the middle of his speech
Is one thing, but to walk out on a speaker of such author-
ity and importance is another.
It would be interesting to see what would hapen if the
circumstances were reversed. Can you imagine what the
public's reaction would be if a group of English university
students walked out on David Bruce?
Another interesting point is the lack of questions asked. 1
It appears that all of the questions were raised by foreign
students. Surely there are a few American students in our 3
midst that are capable of asking a question or two.
It would behove the students of this school to show a
little more respect to visiting dignitaries in the future.
Satyr
Having resolved to give
up these mumblings for the
season of Lenti I digress for
a moment in deference to
the editor. It has been his
wish to fill the newsprint
with quality writing of great
depth and - perception. So
here I am.
Of late the editorial pages
have been filled with Shul
manism and rude humor
cranked out by various and
sundry authors in a vain
attempt to place themselves
prominently in the eyes of
the hungry mob. Naturally
the SATYR will not stoop
to this imitative drivel.
Readers, beware of the
column which bears the luc
rative name "In the Trees"
or tombs or something like
that. This is obviously the
work of some disgruntled
freshman type. Having
discovered the life at the
University is not filled with
pennant waving, integrity
and honest humanism;. the
miscreant tears hair and
decries the malady of cam
pus endeavors.
In order to save you from
the fate of reading the col
umn, I shall here set about
to give a brief synopsis of
what will obviously follow
the first two.'
As the first installment of
Disheartened dealt you a
treatise on school spirit, and
the second an elevated sa
tire upon the sins of cheat
ing, it is reasonable to as
sume that the next will be
a criticism of people who
work in activities to further
their political careers.
Having bemoaned this sit
uation fully, our embryonic

where in the state today.
I tend to agree with the
frequent cry of some stu
dents, that regular courses in

direct bearing on the major
field of study. This is not the

.Youth.
The program of the Hall of
Youth is intended to fill the
gap between the people who
do not go on to couege ana
the educational opportunities
they would be able tovbenefit
from.
Dr. Hoiberg has indicated
that his area of the Nebraska
Center intends to achieve
their purpose of helping
young adults to comprehend
the realities in earning a liv
ing. Included in this institute
training are three areas of instruction-job-related
courses,
home and community devel
opment and social recreation
al activities. ; ' .
Under the title of the Mid
west Institute for Young
Adults, Hoiberg will start the
ball rolling n June. From all
indications the cost will not
be beyond the reach of the
average young adult. The feesl
assessed tor attendance at
the institute will be supple
mented by funds outside the
University.
This is a venture that has
its head in the clouds but its
feet planted squarely ort the
ground. Although the pur
poses of tiie institute may at
first appear to De too i a r
reaching or unrealistic, I for
one place my confidence in
the program and the Center
as a whole.
The recently completed
building on the tjg campus is
certainly more than "just an
other building." It may be a
great step forward for the
State of Nebraska. I f e e 1 it
is as I am sure its finished
product will show -success.

Miss Monroe's derriere, the
subject of three or four

"The Misfits" is an exer
cise at film writing by play
wright Arthur Miller. . It is
an American 'art film' pop
ularized to get audience
laughs and a large boxoffice
response. With Gable's
death and the Monroe-Miller
marriage split, both great
advance publicity, the film
will be a large hit. Af!d, in
spite of its limitations, it's
the best of the new 1961
films released this year.

It has come to tay atten
tion (over the garden fence,
naturally) that some of the
"neighbors" do not think
this column mystic enough.
Well, unfortunately I do not
live in a Catacomb. I don't
have a barn to storm. My
bite's not ' worse since I
wear a retainer. I'm not
guilty and I'n not a Ferae
Naturae. And to top it all
off, I' can't forget it.
Now in case you all think
I get paid anything extra
for plugging the afore men
tioned columns, you're cra
zy. The whole point is that
I am not a mystic; I be
long to no cults; I have
never communicated with,
a French symbolist. All I
try to do is grow blossoms.
And speaking of blooms,
I would like to mention an
ugly weed that sprang up
in an editorial column of
this paper earlier this week.
It was mentioned that sev
eral campus organizations,
including Builders, Red
Cross, YDs, YRs, Corn
Cobs and Tassels, have be
come political stepping
stones. To some extent, this
is true since hoods and
masks usually go to "jocks"
in these organizations. But
if it weren't for Builders,
Red Cross, AUF, Union,
etc., a certain aspect of
college life would be lost.
Politicos may exist in
each of these organizations,
but these organizations do
not1 exist for politicos. All
35 AUFers or All 35 Build
ers board members or All
30 rah rah girls can't be
pushers (not the morphene
kind). The criteria for judg
ing any campus organiza
tion should not be its mem
bers, but its products.
And to close this non
mystical commentary, I
.would like to state that the
student reaction to French
Consul General Claude Ba
tault was disgraceful. Not
only did students noisly walk
out while " Batault was
speaking, they also failed
to ask questions. The only
questions asked following
the speech came from for
eign students, who were
actively interested in what
the Frenchman's reactions
to the Algerian situation
were. What's the matter
with cornfed Nebraska stu
dents? . Are they too unin-
